Plum
Badger:
Well, Dell, maybe I will do a bit of a build along or at least tiller along on this one. I have always struggled with good tillers on Elbs, just never had the eye for it or something. This time I am going to use Erics tillering gizmo, and apply my own no set tillering tecnique with it. I have high hopes for plum in this design. The tiller I am going for is center 12" on slightly bending, last 12" near tips almost stiff and center limb circular.
Ian.:
Funny you should say that Steve as I think flatbows are harder, I am in the process of gluing up a Hill style bow and I keep putting it off as I dare not commit to the glue up, I guess its what your used to.
Marc St Louis:
Steve
I have a stave of Plum that I cut about3 years ago now that is pretty nice. It was a 4" tree that I cut in half. The one side has some decent knots but the other side is pretty clean. Too short for a warbow but one of these days I will make something out of it.
Badger:
Mark, I bet it would work well in those semi recure designs of yours.
Badger:
Well, the plum was dead too long before I got it cut, outer layers were too wormy and powdery to work with, JOB CLOSED!
